Helpful Things for the iPad and others.....

I thought today I might post about some resources that are out there to help with the iPad along with some other great sites and resources that I have come across:

1. There is always a need for a good User Guide for your iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone. This is Apple's manual page where you can download which guide you are looking for.

2. Garrison Sites is a great blog to go to when looking for creative, innovative and 21st Century learning technology ideas!!

3. I found this on a ISTE Wiki Space. It gives you an AMAZING amount of resources on the web of things and ideas to do with the iPad on on a computer. TONS of great resources here!!

4. LOVE THESE CHARTS!!! Useful Charts is a site that contains "useful" charts for studying, learning and quick references for a plethora of things. They are quite neat!

5. Here is just a good blog about using Technology in the classroom.

I hope you find some of these useful - I will continue to post things that I find that I feel will benefit teachers and students! There is SO much out there - I am glad I am able to find some of these, and save you a little time, as you continue to be AMAZING teachers!!!
Happy Monday,
Mrs. I:)

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students. They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say. Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS . THIS IS AMAZING:)!!! Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code. You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks. Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel. This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids. We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...

Starfall Website......

I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT! The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here. Below is a list of content for the little ones: The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section. They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went. They were TOTALLY engaged! They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress. A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:( - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
